What Happens in Vegas Ends up in a Blog
Hello again! If you’ve been following our most recent adventures, you may have noticed a pattern: And this week…the pattern continues! This week we will drink giant martinis, watch singing frogs, and stroll past the Grand Canal. As they say, what happens in Vegas…ends up in a blog! Hi-ho, hi-ho to the Palazzo Though the trips above were for fun and family, this time we had to go for work. (Yes, I actually DO work outside of writing here!) Our five hour flight from Boston didn’t depart until 6pm, which meant we didn’t get to the Venetian Hotel until after 11:30pm. We figured we’d be able to quickly get our…

Our Last Chance to Hit it Big
This week we’re going to unpack our last two days in “Sin City” for Connor’s 21st birthday. In case you missed it: And this week, let’s talk about how we did with our last chance to hit it big! First things first…a check in on the Beer-a-mid Though this wasn’t our primary reason for the trip, checking on the progress of our “beer-a-mid” let us know how many more cans would need to be emptied to have a perfect structure. You see, we believe goal setting early in the day is the ONLY way to go! Next – Gambling at The Orleans Casino One of the “Twenty-something crew” was supposed…

Getting a little In and Out after Tattoos
Okay, I’ll admit this title sounds dirtier than I intended. But if it got you to click, then…really, that’s on you. Anyway this week we will continue the odyssey in the desert where we get a little In and Out (burger) after getting $10 tattoos. Oh and we also hit a new rooftop bar, throw darts and enjoy a gondola ride! It’s going to be a fun one this week! The Preamble: Checking in on our progress Traveling with twenty-somethings has led to a very interesting group project – building a “beer-a-mid”. It began back in New York and continues where ever we roam. The first order of the day…

How a Little Tempest Can Impact Your Day
We’re back from the hiatus we took to prepare for the Boston Marathon…where one of us ran the race and the other spectated. Needless to say, I think running it probably a bit easier. After all the runner’s path is marked, while us spectators had to find our own way to the finish! But I digress. This week we continue our odyssey in the desert, where we explore how a little tempest can impact your day. Jumping out of a perfectly good airplane To celebrate Connor’s big day, we loaded up the Behemoth and drove 45 minutes out to Go Jump in Jean, Nevada. Connor and Savanna wanted to go…

The Odyssey in the Desert – Part 1
I’ve always heard that the desert is a place to go to get clarity. It’s a place that is quiet, beautiful, and lends itself to introspection. After all, didn’t Jesus go to the desert to pray for 40 days? And the Israelites wandered the Sinai desert for 40 years, looking for the promised land, right? Well, this trip, wasn’t ANYTHING like all that. Join us for a winter’s odyssey in the desert where we take 6 young 20 somethings for their first trip to the land of holy rollers, I mean, HIGH rollers in Las Vegas. So…why Vegas? I’m sure some folks are wondering why we would take our youngest…

Having a Ball in the Sphere
Ah December…in our family, there’s nothing like it. There is Christmas, of course, but we also have both our birthdays and the birthdays of many of our friends and relatives. This means…in December, we eat and celebrate. (Which makes our clothes a bit tighter through February…at least!) But this December we decided to do something REALLY special, we saw one of our favorite bands, U2, at a newly opened concert venue in Las Vegas. Are you ready for ONE CRAZY weekend with us in Vegas?? If you are, buckle in and let me tell you about having a BALL in the Sphere! The Back Story Since the Sphere’s opening on…
